Optimized Mobile MPLS 3

Introduction Mobile IPv6 is not designed to provide good Quality of Service over dynamic mobile environment. To integrate MIPv6 and MPLS is a method to solve this issue. Furthermore, MPLS can achieve high efficiency compared with conventional IP routing since the labels of MPLS network is short and have fixed length. 4

Introduction In recent years, this topic have been discussed in many papers. Mobile MPLS (MMPLS): R. Zhong, K. T. Chen, C.F. Chun, “Integration of Mobile IP and Multi-Protocol Label switching,” in Conf. Rec, 2001 IEEE Int. Conf. Communications, pp. 2123–2127. Extend Hierarchical MPLS: S. Fowler, S. Zeadally, “Fast Handover over Micro-MPLS-based Wireless Networks,” in Conf. Rec IEEE Int. Symposium, Computers and Communications, pp

Optimized Mobile MPLS 6

Technical Background MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) MPLS is an efficient encapsulation mechanism Uses “Labels” appended to packets (e.g. IP packets) for transport of data. MPLS packets can run on other layer 2 technologies such as ATM, FR, PPP, POS, Ethernet. 7

Label Header for Packet Media Can be used over Ethernet, 802.3, or PPP links Uses two new Ethertypes/PPP PIDs Contains everything needed at forwarding time One word per label Label = 20 bits COS/EXP = Class of Service, 3 bits S = Bottom of Stack, 1 bit TTL = Time to Live, 8 bits LabelEXPSTTL 8

Encapsulations Label PPP Header Layer 2/L3 Packet PPP Header (Packet over SONET/SDH) Label MAC Header Layer 2/L3 Packet LAN MAC Label Header One or More Labels Appended to the Packet 9

MPLS Example: Routing Information In label Address Prefix Out I’face Out label In label Address Prefix Out I’face Out label In label Address Prefix Out I’face 0... Out label 0 You can reach thru me You can reach and thru me Routing Updates (OSPF, EIGRP, …) You can reach thru me 11

MPLS Example: Assigning Labels In label Address Prefix Out I’face Out label In label Address Prefix Out I’face Out label In label 9... Address Prefix Out I’face 0... Out label Use label 7 for Use label 4 for and Use label 5 for Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) (Downstream Allocation) Use label 9 for

MPLS Operation 1a. Existing routing protocols (e.g. OSPF, IS-IS) establish reachability to destination networks 1b. Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) establishes label to destination network mappings 2. Ingress Edge LSR receives packet, performs Layer 3 value-added services, and “labels” packets 3. LSR switches packets using label swapping 4. Edge LSR at egress removes label and delivers packet 14

Abbreviations and Acronyms Label Switching Router (LSR) & Label Edge Router (LER): The routers which support MPLS routing technique. Forward Equivalence Class (FEC): It is a group of IP addresses that are forwarding over the same packet treatment. 15

Abbreviations and Acronyms (Cont.) Label Forwarding Information Base (LFIB): It contents the information for MPLS packets routing over the network. Label Information Base (LIB): It records the labels and its parameters which are used between two MPLS routers routing. 16

Optimized Mobile MPLS Integrate Mobile IPv6 and MPLS by additional MPLS header to enhance the performance when roaming to a foreign network. By using an additional IPv6 options header ‘MPLS Header’ to transmit LSP setting up message and MIPv6 Binding Update message at a time. 20

Additional MPLS Header MPLS Options Header Format. (TLV Format) REQ: 8-bit unsigned integer specifies the action that the current router receiving the MPLS header requests the next hop to take. FEC: Variable-length field contains one or more FEC elements. (CoAs) 21

Performance Analysis The latency of setup LSP in MMPLS: D(AR, CN): Distance between AR and CN. λ: Proportional coefficient. n: Nodes. P R : Latency of each node processing LDP signals. 23

Performance Analysis The latency of correspondent registration over MIPv6: D(AR, CN): Distance between AR and CN. η: Proportional coefficient. T wl : Registration signaling forwarding latency on wireless link. P CN : Registration signaling processing latency of CN. 24

Performance Analysis Formula (1) + Formula (2), Handover latency of MMPLS: 25

Performance Analysis In OMMPLS, the process of registration and LSP setup are carried out at the same time. As a result, the latency of OMMPLS is: Therefore, the performance gain is: 26
